Is the basmalah part of al-Fatihah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the basmalah part of al-Fatihah? There is a disagreement among the scholars. The one who considers it part of al-Fatihah recites it aloud, and the one who does not consider it part of it does not recite it aloud, and they are the majority. Therefore, you will find that in some mushafs, the number one is written above the basmalah, indicating that it is part of al-Fatihah.
Answer:
And in some mushafs, nothing is written above the basmalah, and no number is written on it, because it is not part of the surah but rather an independent verse, as is the position of the majority. Yes.
